The authors analyse the pulmonary symptoms found by X-Ray in nine immunodepressed patients who were hosts to Pneumocystis carinii. The radiological abnormalities do not generally appear early nor are they specific; the syndrome of diffuse alveolar consolidation only appears at a late stage, it is most serious in the base and the peri-hilar regions, but does not affect the apex. It would appear that no prognostic value can be ascribed to the radiological results. The authors therefore suggest bronchial scanning for tracking down the Pneumocystis whenever suspicious clinical symptoms appear.
作者分析了9例卡氏肺孢子虫感染的免疫抑制患者经X线检查发现的肺部症状。放射学异常通常出现较晚且不具有特异性；弥漫性肺泡实变综合征仅在晚期出现，在肺底部和肺门周围区域最为严重，但不累及肺尖。放射学结果似乎没有预后价值。因此，作者建议每当出现可疑临床症状时，进行支气管扫描以追踪卡氏肺孢子虫。
